Mars is currently very close to the Earth. Curious about Lucy's reaction
to this phenomenon? See

Of course, she was saying this back in 1954, but still...

Sorry for the poor image quality. View these strips soon, because I'm going
to remove them after a short time.

Cool! Thanks for posting. I just wish we could save them.
If you have a Mac, as I do, your newsreader should allow you to save
those strips to your hard drive.

Awesome... it's great to see some more of those rare 1954 strips.

Just goes to show that Peanuts continues to be timely, even 49 years after
the fact!

Cheers,
Dave
